In Sanscrit we have Jah and Jaya, or Jaa and Ja-ga, and this throws light on the origin of the famous festival of the car of Jaga-nath, commonly called Jaggernâth. Javhe means “he who is,” and Dr. Spiegel traces even the Persian name of God, “Ahura,” to the root _ah_,[614] which in Sanscrit is pronounced _as_, to breathe, and _asu_, became, therefore, in time, synonymous with “Spirit.”[615] Rawlinson strongly supports the opinion of an Aryan or Vedic influence on the early Babylonian mythology. We have given, a few pages back, the strongest possible proofs of the identity of Vishnu with Dag-on. The same may be adduced for the title of Ιαω, and its Sanscrit root traced in every country. JU or _Jovis_ is the oldest Latin name for God. “As male he is Ju-_piter_, or _Ju_, the father, pitär being Sanscrit for father; as feminine, Ju-_no_ or Ju, the comforter--דוח being the Phœnician word for rest and comfort.”[616] Professor Max Müller shows that although “Dyaus,” sky, does not occur as a masculine in the ordinary Sanscrit, yet it does occur in the _Veda_, “and thus bears witness to the early Aryan worship of Dyaus, the Greek Zeus” (_The Veda_). To grasp the real and primitive sense of the term ΙΑΩ, and the reason of its becoming the designation for the most mysterious of all deities, we must search for its origin in the figurative phraseology of all the primitive people. We must first of all go to the most ancient sources for our information. In one of the _Books of Hermes_, for instance, we find him saying that the number TEN is the mother of the soul, and that the _life_ and _light_ are therein united. For “the number 1 (one) is born from the spirit, and the number 10 (ten) from matter;”[617] “the unity has made the TEN, the TEN the unity.”[618] The kabalistic _gemantria_--one of the methods for extracting the hidden meaning from letters, words, and sentences--is arithmetical. It consists in applying to the letters of a word the sense they bear as numbers, in _outward_ shape as well as in their individual sense. Moreover, by the _Themura_ (another method used by the kabalists) any word could be made to yield its mystery out of its anagram. Thus, we find the author of _Sepher Jezira_ saying, one or two centuries before our era:[619] “ONE, the spirit of the _Alahim_ of Lives.”[620] So again, in the oldest kabalistic diagrams, the _ten_ Sephiroth are represented as wheels or circles, and Adam Kadmon, the primitive man, as an _upright_ pillar. “Wheels and seraphim and the holy creatures” (chioth), says Rabbi Akiba.[621] In another system of the same branch of the symbolical _Kabala_, called Athbach--which arranges the letters of the alphabet by pairs in three rows--all the couples in the first row bear the numerical value _ten_; and in the system of Simeon Ben-Shetah,[622] the uppermost couple--the most sacred of all, is preceded by the Pythagorean cipher, one and a nought, or zero--10.
